Endogenous Growth and Time-to-Build: the AK Case

Author

Listed:
  • Mauro Bambi
Abstract
In this paper, a continuous time AK model is fully analyzed under the time-to-build assumption. Existence and uniqueness of a balance growth path, as well as oscillatory convergence are proved. Moreover, the role of transversality conditions and capital depreciation are highlighted. Numerical simulations are also provided for different choices of the time-to-build delay.
